Today, in us, in our time, even in this year God is pouring out his Spirit and the responses will be as varied and diverse as at the first. How will we respond? Will we respond in wonderment and amazement?

Will we be perplexed but yet soft in heart to hear the Word of God who tells us what he is doing? For all good poets, epic as well as lyric, compose their beautiful poems not by skill but because they are inspired and possessed. Like ecstatic dancers who are not in their right mind, the lyric poets are not in their right mind when they are composing their beautiful strains. Falling under the power of music and meter, they are inspired and possessed, like bacchic maidens who draw milk and honey from the rivers when they are under the influence of Dionysus but not when they are in their right mind.

The soul of the lyric poet does the same, as they themselves say—they tell us that they bring songs from honeyed fountains, culling them out of the gardens and dells of the Muses, like bees winging their way from flower to flower. And this is true. For the poet is a light, winged, holy thing, and there is no invention in him until he has been inspired and is out of his senses, and the mind is no longer in him. When he has not attained this state, he is powerless and is unable to utter his oracles. Emaciated Horse and Rider , India, c. Symbols of bodily desire in Sufi imagery, horses are often shown starved and beaten.

A god takes away the minds of poets and uses them as his ministers just as he uses diviners and holy prophets—in order that we who hear them know that they who utter these priceless words in a state of unconsciousness are speaking not of themselves but that the god himself is the speaker, and that through them he is conversing with us.

Tynnichus the Chalcidian affords a striking instance of what I am saying.

It is simply an invention of the Muses, as he himself says. The god would seem to indicate to us and not allow us to doubt that these beautiful poems are not human or the work of man but divine and the work of a god, and that the poets are only the interpreters of the gods by whom they are severally possessed. Was not this the lesson the god intended to teach when he sang the best of songs through the mouth of the worst of poets?
